Exact model specifications

SKU / topologyAPDU9959NA3 — networked switched rack power distribution unit; no UPS battery or stored runtime.
Input and output voltage200–208 V AC input; output follows the supplied 208 V source
Phase / ampacitySingle phase; 20 A input rating; maximum usable load is limited by nameplate/continuous-load and branch-circuit requirements.
Outlet count and type24 total: 21 × IEC C13/C15-compatible and 3 × IEC C19/C21-compatible outlets; switched outlet groups (verify exact outlet controls in firmware/manual).
Metering / outlet switchingSwitched rack PDU with local metering and network-accessible outlet control/status; model-specific metering granularity depends on firmware.
Network managementEthernet-based APC network management for monitoring and switched outlet control; secure the management interface and use current supported firmware.
Rack dimensionsZero-U (0U) vertical rack installation; verify complete assembly length and rack-side clearance using the manufacturer installation manual.
Plug and load compatibilityNEMA L6-20P input cord; requires grounded 200–208 V single-phase L6-20R service. C13/C15 and C19/C21 outlet labels are connector families, not permission to exceed the PDU rating; verify each load inlet and voltage.
Electrical safetyInput is 20 A, 208 V class; do not infer continuous ampacity above the rating on the nameplate or local code. Preserve protective earth, use an appropriately protected circuit and never connect 120 V-only equipment to 208 V outputs. Installation/service by qualified personnel.

Service and safe deployment

  • Verify voltage, phase, inlet plug, circuit ampacity, continuous load and per-outlet ratings against the PDU nameplate and the exact product manual.
  • Use grounded, correctly protected service; never defeat the protective-earth conductor, overload an outlet/bank, or daisy-chain power strips/PDUs.
  • Mount the chassis using the manufacturer-approved brackets and preserve ventilation and strain relief. Inspect cord, plugs, receptacles and enclosure for heat, wear or damage.
  • Disconnect upstream power before installation, relocation or service. Do not open energized mains equipment; use a qualified electrician where required.
  • Network management can switch power to connected systems; isolate management access, set unique credentials and verify firmware before deployment.
